Here we are again. The start of another school year. The summer seems to have gone by quickly, but that is what we always say. I enjoyed the break from the school day schedule. I spent time with family and friends doing all the things I love to do, but never have the time during the school year. I spent some time at workshops and online learning new things. Having that personal time has given me the energy to be excited for a new year with many new things to share.

I ran across this video today and I thought it was quite poignant for the start of a school year. Will Richardson gave a short presentation at ISTE 2012 (The International Society for Technology in Education conference) this past summer on bold ideas for change in teaching. What he said got me thinking about how I teach now and how I've changed my methods over the years. Have I changed enough? Is how I go about my job really benefiting my students? Should I make more changes? How will these changes affect other teachers in my department? Will my students like it? All this goes through my head and then I think....how will I find the time to figure it all out? Like I tell other teachers, one little change at a time...you don't have to do it all at once!
